SEXOLOGY, VOX POPULI

A once sexually active person who abstains from sex for so long, especially before (or after) getting married that he or she functionally reverts to virginity.

The New York State Board of Education introduced the concept of “secondary virginity” to eighth graders as part of their state-mandated AIDS program. Council member Dr. Liliana Trivelli called the new curriculum “a nice way of saying that even if you have been sleeping around for years, you can be clean again.” Advocate (06/28/94) No. 658, P. 14, secondary virginity and its sister, secondary virgin, is more banal than the adjectival “born again” which might evoke imagery of pentacostal revival meetings.
